Mascarpone in sourdough bread

Mascarpone in sourdough bread

super soft crumb .. with the addition of mascarpone. 15% of Bacheldre Watermill's Oak Smoked Malted Blend Strong Flour.. layering of flavors. not as sour as with creme fraiche. (retarded this for 18 hours) as i expected mascarpone will not give much sour but more smooth buttery crumb. will update taste test the next day. will the sour build???

quite happy with this .. however, my mind was distracted with this bake cos i was babysitting my 2 year old nephew.

i wouldn't count on the mascarpone to give any sour to the bread. But the crumb will be moister, smoother and creamier.. Haven't had any Logan fruit since my trips to the Far East. I hear they are growing them in Florida now which means maybe I can grow a tree here:-) Very nice open crumb. Well done.

Ah thanks, I think the seeds make a beautiful contrast to the darker parts of the crust. Your lunch looks sumptuous too. I am not aware of the wet towel method, does that keep the seeds ingrained somehow more on the crust? Sorry for all the questions, you just do some lovely bread!

hi Andy, thank you for your kind words.. it is a pleasure to receive all enquiries. so please don't hesitate. you have to check out Phil's sesame bread!! it is the THE FRESH LOAF new front page picture!!

My sister is here for a visit and I was asking her what kinds of breads she likes to eat (I will occasionally send her a loaf in the mail and I like to send what people like to eat.). Her comment was that she doesn't usually eat bread unless she has jam or peanut butter on it. In other words, she prefers sandwich loaves. My instant response was 'I would be bored to death baking only sandwich loaves'. Like you, I love experimenting with all sorts of ingredients when baking though you have beat me by a long shot in how many ingredients you bake into a single loaf :O

I will soon be trying Phil's trick with the sesame seeds too. Looked enticing and it looks like it worked out pretty well for you.

hi Janet, Sandwich loaf can be tweak too!!! Phil's wet towel method really help to get the sesame seeds sticks evenly, it is a great method. hands have to be as skillful as him to achieve what he did!! more practice :)

yes Phil i did roast the walnuts. Mascarpone is a good medium to add on for almost every kind of cooking. did a bake with ricotta it came out great.. i think mascarpone would enhanced a milk or butter sandwich loaf very well.
